It’s been 25 years since Trigger Happy TV first unleashed its glorious, chaotic nonsense onto our screens, and let’s be honest. British TV’s never really been the same since. Now, Dom Joly is dragging his anarchic sketch show out of the early 2000s and onto the stage for the Trigger Happy TV – LIVE! 25th Anniversary Tour. That’s right, the giant mobile phone is back, and there’s a very real chance it might ring in your face.
Dom Joly is bringing Trigger Happy’s greatest hits to the stage, complete with behind-the-scenes stories, never-before-heard tales, and—because this is Trigger Happy TV, an absolute guarantee that something ridiculous will happen.
But here’s the catch: you might not just be watching the show. You might end up in it. Pranks, surprises, and general mischief are all on the cards, so if you ever wanted to know what it’s like to be on the receiving end of Trigger Happy TV’s chaos, this is your chance. (Or your nightmare.)
When & Where to Witness the Madness
The tour kicks off in October, stopping at four major UK cities. If you want to relive the golden days of hidden camera comedy (or just see Dom Joly harass people in real-time), here’s where you need to be:
Birmingham – Town Hall – Tuesday, 7 October
Glasgow – The Pavilion Theatre – Thursday, 9 October
Manchester – Aviva Studios – Sunday, 12 October
London – Adelphi Theatre – Tuesday, 14 October
Tickets: How to Secure Your Spot
If you’re brave enough to be part of the madness, tickets go on general sale Friday, 28 February, at 10 am GMT via Ticketmaster. If you’re an O2 customer or just really, really desperate to see a man in a squirrel costume harass strangers again, pre-sale starts Wednesday, 26 February, at 10 am.
Whether you’re here for the nostalgia, the unpredictability, or the sheer possibility of watching Dom Joly wreak havoc on unsuspecting audience members, Trigger Happy TV – LIVE! is shaping up to be the most delightfully unhinged comedy event of the year. Just… maybe keep your phone on silent.
Stay unruly.
